I just don't get it. These 2 bands have been around for barely 10 years and the setlist gets all these responses, yet Uriah Heep, who has been around for OVER 40 years hardly gets anything!: http://www.metalsetlists.com/showthread.php?t=12062 Just me and 1 other person responding!

Maybe its not fair in terms of how long the bands have been around.. but you have to face the fact that an old classic rock band is not going to get nearly as many responses from a site called metalsetlists.

My heart, tears, and prayers go out to the sad, abused, and suffering children of the world!

Just because you've never heard of them doesn't mean they don't exist.

The Dethklok/Mastodon tour was a current tour, so there are going to be a lot of sets posted about them. The line-up was pretty diverse (with bands that have definitely been around more than ten years), so lots of people are going to these shows and lots of people are liking these shows and lots of people are talking about these shows. No disrespect to Uriah Heep, I'm sure metal would be a pretty different place without them in the past, but face the facts: They are nowhere near as popular as Dethklok or Mastodon currently. And I don't know if I'd put them above Tegan & Sara either.
